He has bought at gun stores in nevada, possibly outside the state as well. That part of nevada he is from, mesquite, is right on the border. So he could go to other states to try to buy weapons and have them sent back to the gun dealers in nevada 20 do it legally. But The Big Question here is how did he acquire automatic weapons.
